Report of the FAO/CECAF Working Group on the Assessment of Demersal Resources – Subgroup South. Libreville, Gabon, 6–15 September 2017. Rapport du Groupe de travail FAO/COPACE sur l’évaluation des ressources démersales – Sous-groupe Sud. Libreville, Gabon, 6–15 septembre 2017. 2019

The fourth meeting of the FAO/CECAF Working Group on the Assessment of Demersal Resources, Subgroup South met in Libreville, Gabon, from 6-15 September 2017. The overall objective of the Group is to contribute to the improvement of the management of demersal resources in Southwest Africa through assessment of the state of the stocks and the fisheries to ensure the best sustainable use of the resources for the benefit of the coastal countries. A total of around 53 stocks were analyzed and when possible assessed by the group. For each of these sections, information is provided on the fisheries, sampling scheme and intensity, biological characteristics, stock identity, trends (catch, effort, biological data and abundance indices), assessment, management recommendations and future research. As for the previous meeting of the Working Group in 2011, trends and quality of the basic data (catch, effort and length frequencies) collected by each country, were one the main topics of discussion during the 2017 Working Group meeting. The results of the assessments show that some of the stocks analyzed are fully to overexploited, and the working group thus recommended that fishing effort should be reduced for the overexploited stocks or not increased for the other stocks, to avoid further decreas. For most of the stocks assessed, the only series of stock abundance indices available were commercial CPUE data series. When possible, recommendations on catch levels are also indicated for each stock. Given that most demersal fisheries in the region are multi specific, an overall reduction in fishing effort is necessary. A summary of the assessments and management recommendations is given in Table 8. La quatrième réunion du Groupe de travail FAO/COPACE sur l'évaluation des ressources démersales, sous-groupe Sud s’est tenu à Libreville, Gabon, du 6 au 15 septembre 2017. L'objectif global du Groupe de travail est d’évaluer l’état des ressources démersales dans la zone COPACE Sud et de faire des recommandations sur les options d’aménagement et d’exploitation des pêcheries pour assurer une utilisation optimale et durable de ces ressources au profit des pays côtiers. Au total, environ 53 stocks ont été analysés, et, lorsque cela a été possible, ils ont été évalués par le groupe de travail. Pour chacun de ces groupes, des informations sont fournies sur les pêcheries, les schémas et l’intensité d’échantillonnage, les caractéristiques biologiques, l’identité du stock, les tendances des données (capture, effort, données biologiques et indices d’abondance), les évaluations, les recommandations d’aménagement et recherches futures. Comme dans la réunion précédente du Groupe de travail qui s’est tenue en 2011, parmi les principaux thèmes de discussion de la réunion de 2017, on peut citer les questions relatives à la qualité et aux tendances des données de base collectées par chaque pays (captures, effort et distribution de taille). Les résultats des évaluations montrent que de nombreux stocks analysés sont pleinement exploités ou surexploités. Le Groupe de travail a donc recommandé que l’effort de pêche soit réduit pour les stocks surexploités et n’augmente pas pour les autres afin d’éviter leur épuisement dans le futur. Pour la plupart des stocks évalués, les seuls indices disponibles de l’abondance du stock étaient les données de CPUE commerciales. Lorsque cela a été possible, des recommandations sur le niveau des captures sont aussi indiquées pour chaque stock. Étant donné que la plupart des pêcheries de la région sont multispécifiques, une réduction générale de l’effort de pêche est nécessaire. Le résumé des évaluations et des recommandations d’aménagement est fourni dans le tableau 8.

Soils for nutrition: state of the art 2022

Also available in:

Chinese

Food starts with soils, and as the target date to accomplish the SDGs grows closer, it is more urgent than ever to reverse soil degradation and tackle its effects on agrifood systems. This booklet aims to review the role of soil fertility in producing sufficient, safe, and more nourishing food for healthier plants, animals, and people. It also offers recommendations for solutions that can provide a more nutritious agrifood system for enhancing human health and wellbeing while protecting the environment. Soil fertility and nutrition involve processes at scales ranging from molecules to the entire planet. Our interventions in these processes may exacerbate the global challenges we face but can also be modified to solve them. This booklet contributes to understanding processes related to soil fertility from the perspectives of food production and food security, and the environmental and climate change impacts associated with fertilizer misuse and overuse. The booklet also outlines the main areas of opportunity and the way forward to solve the nutrient imbalance prevailing in our current agrifood systems.

Introduction to Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) 2023

Also available in:

French

This guidance document introduces the seven principles of Hazard analysis and critical control point (HACCP) according to the Codex Alimentarius General Principles of Food Hygiene (CXC 1-1969), and how to apply them using the 12 steps to enhance the control of significant hazards in a food business and ensure food safety. Hazard analysis and critical control point is an important part of food safety management. It is a globally recognized, systematic and science-based approach to food safety that addresses biological, chemical and physical hazards throughout the food chain from primary production to final consumption. The HACCP approach focuses on control measures for significant hazards rather than relying only on end-product inspection and testing. A food business should only implement HACCP once it has established solid prerequisite programmes of food safety management, as described in the sections on Good hygiene practices (GHP). Implementing HACCP may be challenging for some businesses. However, HACCP principles can be applied with flexibility in individual operations, and businesses may use external resources or adapt a generic HACCP plan to their specific circumstances. This publication is part of the FAO Good Hygiene Practices (GHP) and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) Toolbox for Food Safety series. The toolbox is a central repository of practical guidance and resource materials to strengthen food safety capacities, both public and private, in order to develop and implement food safety management programmes in accordance with the Codex Alimentarius General Principles of Food Hygiene guidelines (CXC 1-1969). Care was taken to consider the challenges faced by small food business operators and primary producers in low- and middle-income countries, and those with an institutional role, such as government officials, academia and capacity building organizations.
